Shortwave Broadcast / 6250 khz - 19:40 UTC - March 11th - Echo Of Hope (VOH)?

« on: March 11, 2015, 1950 UTC »

Is anybody else hearing this broadcast? It's coming into Central England reasonably well (3-4-3-2-3) and free from any jamming by the sounds of it. Much clearer than I've heard it before. Can anybody confirm its identity? Thanks

I am hearing Radio Djibouti (4780khz) in Central England for the first time in a number of months. Still waiting for a definite ID but the signal has strengthened over the past 20 minutes, so I remain hopeful.
